Is this swing sturdy &amp; safe enough to put a infant in it that moves around a lot? Or will the swing end up flipping over?

For us it's very sturdy. We put our kid in it since he was about 10 lbs. Now he's about 20 lbs and the swing is still fine. The base is relatively wide and the shoulder/waist straps are good to keep him in. We always have the swing on the lowest setting and it's very calm swing.

It is pretty sturdy for us. It has a 3000 lb capacity. We use it to do dips, so I don't know about swinging on it.

I believe that looping over and latching should work in your case. By the way, the swing is very sturdy.

My son was 18lbs at his 2 month check up. (Yes, he is huge) He is 3.5 months old now and this swing has slowed down CONSIDERABLY, even on 6 which is the highest setting. It is really starting to struggle. I wouldn't guess my baby weighs more than 21 lbs (a HIGH estimate) and so this swing would not last you very long. The weight limit on this swing is 25 lbs. I hope this helped put it into perspective for you. Maybe consider a Mama Roo? They seem to have more umph... Good luck!

We have had two 175 pound persons on the swing for a couple hours. No problems feeling secure. Its very well built with strong bolts and chain supports. We assembled it in about two hours.

None at all, unless balance is an issue for you now I wouldn't be to worried. If the right side was high on a side walk and left side was low on the street, I guess there is a possibility of flipping but all in all, flipping is something I would hold me back from at least trying it out. It seemed very stable to us. My two year old was playing on it. And if she can't flip it over I'd like to meet the person who can because she's the roughest toughest girl I know

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...)

The swing is 4 foot wide and can handle up to 4 or 5 kids at a time. It is very solidly built and I think can hold up to 600 pounds. We have had multiple adults and kids on at the same time. The biggest issue is whether you have a strong enough swing beam to handle the weight. It takes the place of where two swings normally would go. We placed it on a 12 foot swing beam with one additional swing on the end and it has plenty of room. We also used a 7 foot high swing beam and the swing sits about a 1 1/2 foot off of the ground with regular attachments.

My daughter is about 30 pounds, and she swings on it all the time. When playing with her, I'll sometimes briefly swing on it, and I'm about 90 pounds. I don't use it for any length of time, so I can't really say how well it would hold up if I used it often, but it seems sturdy.

I bought this for my 2.5 year old last year. It is not super bouncy, but she loves it. My 6 year old loves it as well. They do use the stabilizer bar to hang from upside down and we have not had an issue with it tipping over at all. We do not have the bar extended all the way either so it is not locked into place.

It is somewhat stable -- HOWEVER-- my grandson likes to stand at the top and shake the slide. He can get it moving pretty well and I have to really keep a grip on it not to tip over! This slide is used indoors and with total supervision. I would never trust to be used without complete HANDS ON supervision.

In my experience it has been very stable. My 3yo and 18mo have had this since Christmas. It is in their playroom and they have been in/on it every day. I have been impressed with how much they use and enjoy it.It has a very wide base - it's basically a big square with a small slide.

Physics. I have has 200 lbs in the swing and did not feel at all nervous about the sway in the frame...but there sill be some natural movement. As long as you have the poles clicked together and you have a flat stable ground you should be fine.

Hmmm.. It is very light weight. So is it possible, maybe. However, I have TWO 13 month old babies (twins) in the play yard at the same time. They have never come close to tipping it. However, throw my almost 4 year old in it. They start play rough, and Yes, it is possible. With one baby you should be fine.

So far I put there my 25lb nephew to play and it still was ok. The limit for this cradle is active baby. I transformed my son into his crib at 4.5months, when he start to move around a lot. Then it's not so safe to keep babies there by themselves.

My baby has been using this swing since she was 6 months old and not sitting up yet. It has worked fine for us.

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable putting a little baby in this swing unless they have really good head and neck control and can sit up unassisted. While the seat back isn't straight upright, like a chair, the harness isn't very tight; and I could see a little one's head falling forward if they aren't able to hold their head up too well.
